His Honor Judge Ardagh occupied the chair and ad- dressed those present.

Among other things he alluded to the unavoidable absence of'Mr. James Ed- wards andmade a feeling reference to the Rev.

A, distinguished scholar and divine. a cosmopolitan preacher. because he loved and was on good terms with all branches of the Christian Church, Rev. Dr. Harper as one of the old pioneers, will be missed through- the whole country, but especially in Barrie where he lived and labored for `years and would have liked to end his days. Rev.

The report of the directors of the Equity Fire Insurance Company submitted to the shareholders on Wednesday. and which will he found in the advertising columns, is an extremely satisfactory one. While the pre- mium income has increased handsomely, as seen by the report, viz, by $50,.l42,the great distinction that the companv will enjoy in connection with the past year s insurance |busines_s is its low loss ratio, which is pro bably lower than that of any other Dominion licensed compauy,.ii.not,of any company in Canada, working out, as it does, at less than 37 per cent. Thisis extraordinary, in face of the general experience, last year showing the largest amount of re loss throughout America on record.` That is a strong in- dicatienof the company's conservative und- erwi-iting, and will no doubt commend the company totthie insuring public.
